RELATED APPLICATION

The subject patent application is a continuation of, and claims priorityto, U.S. patent application Ser. No. 16/674,386, filed Nov. 5, 2019, andentitled “ADJUSTING THROUGHPUT THRESHOLD OF NETWORK DEVICES FOR 5G OROTHER NEXT GENERATION WIRELESS NETWORK,” the entirety of whichapplication is hereby incorporated by reference herein.

TECHNICAL FIELD

This disclosure relates generally to management of resources wirelessnetwork. More specifically, facilitating adjustment of throughputthreshold of network devices based on requested quality of servicereceived from a mobile device, e.g., for 5th generation (5G) or othernext generation wireless network.

BACKGROUND

5G wireless systems represent a next major phase of mobiletelecommunications standards beyond the current telecommunicationsstandards of 4^(th) generation (4G). In addition to faster peak Internetconnection speeds, 5G planning aims at higher capacity than current 4G,allowing a higher number of mobile broadband users per area unit, andallowing consumption of higher or unlimited data quantities. Although 5Goffers higher and unlimited data, there is a significant churn rate forthe carriers. Carriers have been studying churn rate for several yearsand mostly discovered that a high percentage of churn rate is due todissatisfaction with price or the service plan or service delivery thatcustomer's buy as a plan. However, many users have churned away from acarrier due to lack of throughput (defined as data volume over unittime). Studying amplitude of variation in throughput delivered by thenetwork and to a device few days prior to the churn date has shown thatthe device may not have received quality service required based onactivity of a device (e.g., handset requiring high quality anduninterrupted video display, drone delivering packages using wirelesstechnology, etc.) or quality of service associated with the device. Manyof the network devices operate using max-min thresholds that does notalign with requested services from mobile device. This in turn canresult in lower than expected throughput for a device.

The above-described background relating to churn rate and lack ofthroughput is merely intended to provide a contextual overview of somecurrent issues, and is not intended to be exhaustive (e.g., althoughproblems and solution are directed to next generation networks such as5G, the solutions can be applied to 4G/LTE technologies). Othercontextual information may become further apparent upon review of thefollowing detailed description.

FIG. 1 illustrates a non-limiting example of a wireless communicationsystem 100 in accordance with various aspects and embodiments of thesubject disclosure. In one or more embodiments, system 100 can compriseone or more user equipment UEs 102. The non-limiting term user equipment(UE) can refer to any type of device that can communicate with a networknode in a cellular or mobile communication system. A UE can have one ormore antenna panels having vertical and horizontal elements. Examples ofa UE comprise a target device, device to device (D2D) UE, machine typeUE or UE capable of machine to machine (M2M) communications, personaldigital assistant (PDA), tablet, mobile terminals, smart phone, laptopmounted equipment (LME), universal serial bus (USB) dongles enabled formobile communications, a computer having mobile capabilities, a mobiledevice such as cellular phone, a laptop having laptop embedded equipment(LEE, such as a mobile broadband adapter), a tablet computer having amobile broadband adapter, a wearable device, a virtual reality (VR)device, a heads-up display (HUD) device, a smart car, a machine-typecommunication (MTC) device, and the like. User equipment UE 102 can alsocomprise IOT devices that communicate wirelessly.

In various embodiments, system 100 is or comprises a wirelesscommunication network serviced by one or more wireless communicationnetwork providers. In example embodiments, a UE 102 can becommunicatively coupled to the wireless communication network via anetwork node 104. The network node (e.g., network node device) cancommunicate with user equipment (UE), thus providing connectivitybetween the UE and the wider cellular network. The UE 102 can sendtransmission type recommendation data to the network node 104. Thetransmission type recommendation data can comprise a recommendation totransmit data via a closed loop MIMO mode and/or a rank-1 precoder mode.

A network node can have a cabinet and other protected enclosure, anantenna mast, and multiple antennas for performing various transmissionoperations (e.g., MIMO operations). Network nodes can serve severalcells, also called sectors, depending on the configuration and type ofantenna. In example embodiments, the UE 102 can send and/or receivecommunication data via a wireless link to the network node 104. Thedashed arrow lines from the network node 104 to the UE 102 representdownlink (DL) communications and the solid arrow lines from the UE 102to the network nodes 104 represents an uplink (UL) communication.

System 100 can further include one or more communication serviceprovider networks 106 that facilitate providing wireless communicationservices to various UEs, including UE 102, via the network node 104and/or various additional network devices (not shown) included in theone or more communication service provider networks 106. The one or morecommunication service provider networks 106 can include various types ofdisparate networks, including but not limited to: cellular networks,femto networks, picocell networks, microcell networks, internet protocol(IP) networks Wi-Fi service networks, broadband service network,enterprise networks, cloud based networks, millimeter wave networks andthe like. For example, in at least one implementation, system 100 can beor include a large scale wireless communication network that spansvarious geographic areas. According to this implementation, the one ormore communication service provider networks 106 can be or include thewireless communication network and/or various additional devices andcomponents of the wireless communication network (e.g., additionalnetwork devices and cell, additional UEs, network server devices, etc.).The network node 104 can be connected to the one or more communicationservice provider networks 106 via one or more backhaul links 108. Forexample, the one or more backhaul links 108 can comprise wired linkcomponents, such as a T1/E1 phone line, a digital subscriber line (DSL)(e.g., either synchronous or asynchronous), an asymmetric DSL (ADSL), anoptical fiber backbone, a coaxial cable, and the like. The one or morebackhaul links 108 can also include wireless link components, such asbut not limited to, line-of-sight (LOS) or non-LOS links which caninclude terrestrial air-interfaces or deep space links (e.g., satellitecommunication links for navigation).

Wireless communication system 100 can employ various cellular systems,technologies, and modulation modes to facilitate wireless radiocommunications between devices (e.g., the UE 102 and the network node104). While example embodiments might be described for 5G new radio (NR)systems, the embodiments can be applicable to any radio accesstechnology (RAT) or multi-RAT system where the UE operates usingmultiple carriers e.g. LTE FDD/TDD, GSM/GERAN, CDMA2000 etc.

For example, system 100 can operate in accordance with global system formobile communications (GSM), universal mobile telecommunications service(UMTS), long term evolution (LTE), LTE frequency division duplexing (LTEFDD, LTE time division duplexing (TDD), high speed packet access (HSPA),code division multiple access (CDMA), wideband CDMA (WCMDA), CDMA2000,time division multiple access (TDMA), frequency division multiple access(FDMA), multi-carrier code division multiple access (MC-CDMA),single-carrier code division multiple access (SC-CDMA), single-carrierFDMA (SC-FDMA), orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM),discrete Fourier transform spread OFDM (DFT-spread OFDM) single carrierFDMA (SC-FDMA), Filter bank based multi-carrier (FBMC), zero tailDFT-spread-OFDM (ZT DFT-s-OFDM), generalized frequency divisionmultiplexing (GFDM), fixed mobile convergence (FMC), universal fixedmobile convergence (UFMC), unique word OFDM (UW-OFDM), unique wordDFT-spread OFDM (UW DFT-Spread-OFDM), cyclic prefix OFDM CP-OFDM,resource-block-filtered OFDM, Wi Fi, WLAN, WiMax, and the like.

However, various features and functionalities of system 100 areparticularly described wherein the devices (e.g., the UEs 102 and thenetwork device 104) of system 100 are configured to communicate wirelesssignals using one or more multi carrier modulation schemes, wherein datasymbols can be transmitted simultaneously over multiple frequencysubcarriers (e.g., OFDM, CP-OFDM, DFT-spread OFMD, UFMC, FMBC, etc.).The embodiments are applicable to single carrier as well as tomulticarrier (MC) or carrier aggregation (CA) operation of the UE. Theterm carrier aggregation (CA) is also called (e.g. interchangeablycalled) “multi-carrier system”, “multi-cell operation”, “multi-carrieroperation”, “multi-carrier” transmission and/or reception. Note thatsome embodiments are also applicable for Multi RAB (radio bearers) onsome carriers (that is data plus speech is simultaneously scheduled).

In various embodiments, system 100 can be configured to provide andemploy 5G wireless networking features and functionalities. 5G wirelesscommunication networks are expected to fulfill the demand ofexponentially increasing data traffic and to allow people and machinesto enjoy gigabit data rates with virtually zero latency. Compared to 4G,5G supports more diverse traffic scenarios. For example, in addition tothe various types of data communication between conventional UEs (e.g.,phones, smartphones, tablets, PCs, televisions, Internet enabledtelevisions, etc.) supported by 4G networks, 5G networks can be employedto support data communication between smart cars in association withdriverless car environments, as well as machine type communications(MTCs). Considering the drastic different communication needs of thesedifferent traffic scenarios, the ability to dynamically configurewaveform parameters based on traffic scenarios while retaining thebenefits of multi carrier modulation schemes (e.g., OFDM and relatedschemes) can provide a significant contribution to the highspeed/capacity and low latency demands of 5G networks. With waveformsthat split the bandwidth into several sub-bands, different types ofservices can be accommodated in different sub-bands with the mostsuitable waveform and numerology, leading to an improved spectrumutilization for 5G networks.

To meet the demand for data centric applications, features of proposed5G networks may comprise: increased peak bit rate (e.g., 20 Gbps),larger data volume per unit area (e.g., high system spectralefficiency—for example about 3.5 times that of spectral efficiency oflong term evolution (LTE) systems), high capacity that allows moredevice connectivity both concurrently and instantaneously, lowerbattery/power consumption (which reduces energy and consumption costs),better connectivity regardless of the geographic region in which a useris located, a larger numbers of devices, lower infrastructuraldevelopment costs, and higher reliability of the communications. Thus,5G networks may allow for: data rates of several tens of megabits persecond should be supported for tens of thousands of users, 1 gigabit persecond to be offered simultaneously to tens of workers on the sameoffice floor, for example; several hundreds of thousands of simultaneousconnections to be supported for massive sensor deployments; improvedcoverage, enhanced signaling efficiency; reduced latency compared toLTE.

The upcoming 5G access network may utilize higher frequencies (e.g., >6GHz) to aid in increasing capacity. Currently, much of the millimeterwave (mmWave) spectrum, the band of spectrum between 30 GHz and 300 GHzis underutilized. The millimeter waves have shorter wavelengths thatrange from 10 millimeters to 1 millimeter, and these mmWave signalsexperience severe path loss, penetration loss, and fading. However, theshorter wavelength at mmWave frequencies also allows more antennas to bepacked in the same physical dimension, which allows for large-scalespatial multiplexing and highly directional beamforming.

Performance can be improved if both the transmitter and the receiver areequipped with multiple antennas. Multi-antenna techniques cansignificantly increase the data rates and reliability of a wirelesscommunication system. The use of multiple input multiple output (MIMO)techniques, which was introduced in the third-generation partnershipproject (3GPP) and has been in use (including with LTE), is amulti-antenna technique that can improve the spectral efficiency oftransmissions, thereby significantly boosting the overall data carryingcapacity of wireless systems. The use of multiple-input multiple-output(MIMO) techniques can improve mmWave communications, and has been widelyrecognized a potentially important component for access networksoperating in higher frequencies. MIMO can be used for achievingdiversity gain, spatial multiplexing gain and beamforming gain. Forthese reasons, MIMO systems are an important part of the 3rd and 4thgeneration wireless systems and are planned for use in 5G systems.

Referring now to FIG. 2A, illustrated is an exemplary chart 200 ofamplitude variance for network devices over time according to one ormore aspects and embodiments. The chart 200 illustrates an exemplaryamplitude 220 of a mobile device over a period of time. The throughputcan be associated with amplitude, wherein required throughput for themobile device to stay connected to a connection device (e.g., basestation, eNB, etc.), is related to the amplitude 220 at which the deviceoperates. The illustrated amplitude data can be collected over time(e.g., 30 days or 5 minutes). For the purpose of requesting adjustments(as discussed below), the amplitude data may be collected over 5 minutesto 30 days. For example, the chart 200 illustrates several instances 202a-d where the amplitude was out of throughput range 224 (e.g., a max-minvalue). Depending on network conditions, if a mobile device is notprovided a minimum throughput or the device is operating outside thethroughput range 224, the device may lose connection with the networkdevice. In such a case, a user may experience a lost connection or lowquality of service. If the device operates at such amplitude levels suchthat when connected to a network node of a carrier that operates havinga predefined throughput range, the user is likely to switch to adifferent carrier (e.g., historical data of churned device may show thatthe amplitude levels of mobile device frequently reached out of range atmultiple nodes of a carrier just prior to the churn event).

Referring now to FIG. 2B, illustrated is an exemplary chart 250 ofamplitude variance for network devices over time having an adjustedthroughput threshold according to one or more aspects and embodiments.As illustrated, the throughput threshold is adjusted by a throughputadjustment 256. The throughput adjustment can be determined utilizinghistorical amplitude data of a mobile device (e.g., a phone, a tablet, adrone, etc.). The adjustment allows a network device operating at ahigher amplitude to receive throughput that would maintain connectionwhile connected to a network node device of a carrier. In someembodiments, the throughput adjustment 256 may be temporary (e.g.,adjusted for a period of time or while a device with high quality ofservice plan is connected to a network node). The data has shown that,while most devices do not need adjustment to the throughput range,certain type of devices that operate at higher amplitudes require anincrease in throughput to receive high quality of service. For thesedevices, according to an embodiment, the throughput can be adjusted toinsure high quality of service and connectivity.

Referring now to FIG. 3, illustrated is an example of a wireless network(e.g., 5G LTE-NR or other next generation wireless network) 300 inaccordance with various aspects and embodiments described herein. Thewireless network 300 can comprise several network node devices (e.g.,e/gNodeB, base station, etc.) 302-312. All the network node devices arecommunicatively connected to a core network 320 through the SDNcontroller. In some embodiments, one or devices of the core network 320,including the SDN controller 322 can monitor throughput of all thenetwork node devices 302-312 and can take appropriate action to increaseor decrease throughput by adjusting the throughput threshold (e.g.,maximum and minimum threshold value). For example, where a mobile device350 (e.g., a drone programmed to deliver a package) requires maintenanceof wireless connection from location 352 (e.g., point A) and location354 (e.g., point B). To achieve or guarantee connection from point A topoint B, the network controller (e.g., the core network 324 and/or SDNcontroller 322) are provided intelligent control system that evaluatesthe operating amplitude of the drone 350 over last 5 minutes to 30 days.Thereafter, the intelligent control system can request the network nodedevice 302 and 304 (e.g., the impacted network node devices) to adjustthe throughput such that the drone does not lose connection due to lowthroughput. It should be noted that any one or more of the other networknode devices 306, 308, 310, and 312, may also require adjustment to thethroughput. As described below, the network can determine which networknode (e.g., connection devices) would require change in throughput(e.g., require to adjust the throughput threshold based on amplitudedata of the mobile device). For efficiency, only the impacted networknode devices are requested to adjust the throughput. The identificationof the network node device is based on which network nodes that operatein a geographical location defined by a starting location (e.g.,location 352) and a delivery location (e.g., location 354). In someembodiments, the identification of impacted network node is based on theability for the impacted node to comply with throughput adjustmentrequest. For example, if the network node that is servicing a largenumber of users and adjusting throughput range would cause many of thoseusers to lose connections, the network node may communicate that thenetwork node is not available or capable of complying with the request.

Referring now to FIG. 4, illustrated is an example of a wireless network(e.g., 5G LTE-NR or other next generation wireless network) 400 inaccordance with various aspects and embodiments described herein. Thewireless network 400 can comprise several network node devices (e.g.,e/gNodeB, base station, etc.) 402-412. All the network node devices arecommunicatively connected to a core network 420 through the SDNcontroller. In some embodiments, one or devices of the core network 420,including the SDN controller 422 can monitor throughput of all thenetwork node devices 402-412 and can take appropriate action to increaseor decrease throughput by adjusting the throughput threshold (e.g.,maximum and minimum threshold value). In an embodiment, the mobiledevice may request high quality of service for a route 458 by providinga start location 452 and end location 454. The mobile device may alsoprovide a starting time and end time for receiving a high quality ofservice (e.g., high quality of service (QoS) class identifier (QCI)value). For example, the mobile device 450, operating in a bus, mayrequire uninterrupted display of information (e.g., information videoassociated with the route) throughout the route defined by location 452and 454. The SDN controller 422 comprising an intelligent controlsystem, can first determine routing and all the network node devicesthat may require an adjustment to the throughput threshold in order tomeet the service request initiated by the mobile device 450. Asillustrate, network nodes 408, 412, 410, 404 and 406 may be impacted.Once one or more network nodes are identified, the SDN controller 422can request the network nodes 408, 412, 410, 404 and 406 to adjust thethroughput by adjusting the throughput threshold. In some embodiments,once the mobile device that requested the high quality service is out ofgeographical or service range of a impacted network node (e.g., networknode 408 when the bus 450 reaches network node 410), the impacted node(e.g., network node 408) may reset the throughput range/threshold todefault or a lower level when possible.

For example, in an embodiment, the network node device may receive athroughput adjustment request from mobile device or the networkcontroller, requesting a higher throughput for a mobile device (e.g.,mobile device 350 or 450). In some embodiments, the request may comprisea various parameter, such as but not limited to, amplitude data, routeinformation, and duration of high throughput. The network node device,based on the throughput adjustment request (e.g., the parameter includedin the request), can determine all the network nodes that would requirean adjustment to the throughput threshold in order to satisfy theconnectivity required and/or quality of service required by the mobiledevice. For example, if drone is required to fly from point A to point Band requests to the network (e.g., through the currently connectednetwork node device), to provide connectivity throughout the routeprovided. The network or connected network node can determine theimpacted network nodes based on the route information and request eachimpacted node to adjust the throughput threshold so that the drone doesnot lose connection. In some embodiments, the level of adjustment isbased on amplitude range information received in the request.

In some embodiments, the mobile device may provide routing informationand/or duration value in the throughput adjustment request for which themobile device must have requested quality of service. An intelligentsystem of the network and/or network node device determines thegeographical location impacted by the request and one or more networknode devices that will be servicing the mobile device. Once the one ormore network node devices have been identified, the intelligent systemmay determine, with exchange of messages with each impacted network nodedevice, whether the network node device can satisfy the throughputadjustment. If so, the intelligent system requests throughput adjustmentbased on parameters received from the mobile device.

In an embodiment, once the network and/or the network node hasdetermined that connectivity and/or quality of service can be providedper requests (e.g., receiving an acknowledgement, via a communicationfrom one or more network node devices, the throughput adjustment can beimplemented), a message is transmitted which includes an indication thatthe throughput adjustment is granted.

In a networkedenvironment, program modules depicted relative to the computer 1102 orportions thereof, can be stored in the remote memory/storage device1152. It will be appreciated that the network connections shown areexample and other means of establishing a communications link betweenthe computers can be used.

When used in either a LAN or WAN networking environment, the computer1102 can access cloud storage systems or other network-based storagesystems in addition to, or in place of, external storage devices 1116 asdescribed above.

A processor may also be implemented as acombination of computing processing units.

In the subject specification, terms such as “store,” “storage,” “datastore,” data storage,” “database,” and substantially any otherinformation storage component relevant to operation and functionality ofa component, refer to “memory components,” or entities embodied in a“memory” or components comprising the memory. It will be appreciatedthat the memory components described herein can be either volatilememory or nonvolatile memory, or can include both volatile andnonvolatile memory.

As used in this application, the terms “component,” “system,”“platform,” “layer,” “selector,” “interface,” and the like are intendedto refer to a computer-related entity or an entity related to anoperational apparatus with one or more specific functionalities, whereinthe entity can be either hardware, a combination of hardware andsoftware, software, or software in execution. As an example, a componentmay be, but is not limited to being, a process running on a processor, aprocessor, an object, an executable, a thread of execution, a program,and/or a computer. By way of illustration and not limitation, both anapplication running on a server and the server can be a component. Oneor more components may reside within a process and/or thread ofexecution and a component may be localized on one computer and/ordistributed between two or more computers. In addition, these componentscan execute from various computer readable media, device readablestorage devices, or machine readable media having various datastructures stored thereon. The components may communicate via localand/or remote processes such as in accordance with a signal having oneor more data packets (e.g., data from one component interacting withanother component in a local system, distributed system, and/or across anetwork such as the Internet with other systems via the signal). Asanother example, a component can be an apparatus with specificfunctionality provided by mechanical parts operated by electric orelectronic circuitry, which is operated by a software or firmwareapplication executed by a processor, wherein the processor can beinternal or external to the apparatus and executes at least a part ofthe software or firmware application. As yet another example, acomponent can be an apparatus that provides specific functionalitythrough electronic components without mechanical parts, the electroniccomponents can include a processor therein to execute software orfirmware that confers at least in part the functionality of theelectronic components.

In addition, the term “or” is intended to mean an inclusive “or” ratherthan an exclusive “or.” That is, unless specified otherwise, or clearfrom context, “X employs A or B” is intended to mean any of the naturalinclusive permutations. That is, if X employs A; X employs B; or Xemploys both A and B, then “X employs A or B” is satisfied under any ofthe foregoing instances. Moreover, articles “a” and “an” as used in thesubject specification and annexed drawings should generally be construedto mean “one or more” unless specified otherwise or clear from contextto be directed to a singular form.

Moreover, terms like “user equipment (UE),” “mobile station,” “mobile,”subscriber station,” “subscriber equipment,” “access terminal,”“terminal,” “handset,” and similar terminology, refer to a wirelessdevice utilized by a subscriber or user of a wireless communicationservice to receive or convey data, control, voice, video, sound, gaming,or substantially any data-stream or signaling-stream. The foregoingterms are utilized interchangeably in the subject specification andrelated drawings. Likewise, the terms “access point (AP),” “basestation,” “NodeB,” “evolved Node B (eNodeB),” “home Node B (HNB),” “homeaccess point (HAP),” “cell device,” “sector,” “cell,” “relay device,”“node,” “point,” and the like, are utilized interchangeably in thesubject application, and refer to a wireless network component orappliance that serves and receives data, control, voice, video, sound,gaming, or substantially any data-stream or signaling-stream to and froma set of subscriber stations or provider enabled devices. Data andsignaling streams can include packetized or frame-based flows.

Additionally, the terms “core-network”, “core”, “core carrier network”,“carrier-side”, or similar terms can refer to components of atelecommunications network that typically provides some or all ofaggregation, authentication, call control and switching, charging,service invocation, or gateways. Aggregation can refer to the highestlevel of aggregation in a service provider network wherein the nextlevel in the hierarchy under the core nodes is the distribution networksand then the edge networks. UEs do not normally connect directly to thecore networks of a large service provider but can be routed to the coreby way of a switch or radio area network. Authentication can refer todeterminations regarding whether the user requesting a service from thetelecom network is authorized to do so within this network or not. Callcontrol and switching can refer determinations related to the futurecourse of a call stream across carrier equipment based on the callsignal processing. Charging can be related to the collation andprocessing of charging data generated by various network nodes. Twocommon types of charging mechanisms found in present day networks can beprepaid charging and postpaid charging. Service invocation can occurbased on some explicit action (e.g., call transfer) or implicitly (e.g.,call waiting). It is to be noted that service “execution” may or may notbe a core network functionality as third party network/nodes may takepart in actual service execution. A gateway can be present in the corenetwork to access other networks. Gateway functionality can be dependenton the type of the interface with another network.

Furthermore, the terms “user,” “subscriber,” “customer,” “consumer,”“prosumer,” “agent,” and the like are employed interchangeablythroughout the subject specification, unless context warrants particulardistinction(s) among the terms.
